In our second episode of “Radio Organic”, we’ll delve into all things mushroom and direct marketing. Join us for a conversation with the Garrone family who have been growing and marketing mushrooms in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 35 years. Learn how Far West Fungi uses its direct-market outlets—like farmers’ markets and retail stores—to introduce novel mushroom varieties to consumers, test out mushroom tinctures and teas, and pick up ideas for future products. Get insight on how Far West Fungi’s different retail locations and individual Garrone family members have all helped shaped the business into what it is today.
